Interbike??? Spire???

[Prowler]

So did any of you K2 fans make it to the big show? Did K2 break out the Spire yet? I have seen a few pics from the K2 booth but only saw the Tirade and R-back.

noo..but i'd really like to compare it to Trek Liquid, which I think it looks a lot like.

like the Giant AC and the Tirade

these bikes all look "separated at birth"

i'd really like to see and ride the new GF Cake.

I thought the Spire was no more and they renamed it to Lithium

Okay, now I'm confused. I just saw the Lithium in an MTB mag. Looks like the Tirade to me.

I thought the Spire/Lithium was suppose to be some new frame based on the EVO. What happened to that?

look in my gallery...link below first column (i think)

a pic of the Lithium/Spire (Spire name was changed ot Lithium)

me thinks the Tirade looks like a Giand AC and the Lithium a Trek Liquid

Triade had the bent seatpost that IFO was complaining about.

Carbon, thanks for the pic, it's the first  i've seen and I actually love the 'look' of the bike, obviously the durabilitywt/ride/price etc are all more important but that could be a winner. I suppose the suspension is the 'psuedo 4 bar'/ glorified single pivot a la Giant and Kona,Tirade etc ?

only thing i don't like is the routing of the cables on top of the top tube, just my opinion. yeah it's a psuedo 4~bar

Exactly...so whats the point in creating a new model that is so similar to an existing model  [smiley=yawn.gif]
